Member Testimonials
I've appreciated the various efforts to upgrade the facility including new weight equipment, fresh paint, and resurfaced basketball courts. The longer hours on Sunday are also much appreciated.
One small suggestion - In the weight room, there are several windows that have fogged up due to failed seals. I think replacing the failed glass would be a great improvement and make the weight room feel nicer.
The swimlaps in the pool are great!
Excellent facilities, wonderful exercise equipment, and absolute rockstar staff! I have received nothing but wonderful, welcoming help from the employees, Leah in particular.
I would perhaps like to see a couple more yoga classes if possible, at different times of day!
It’s feels like a community and there are a lot of different classes offered. The cooking classes are far more superior then other facilities. The focus on kids and their experience has been great.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The BYST swim team is an outstanding program. It has been a huge positive in my kids' lives.
The YMCA staff is friendly and helpful. I use the weight room regularly and it meets my needs. I like that there's a gym with open times to shoot hoops.
Some pool instructors with youth and enthusiasm as well as decent music!
The early morning cycling and boot camp classes!
Small, not crowded. Friendly.

I love the variety of classes offered. I love the community atmosphere. I have made a circle of friends at the Y.
Very nice facility! Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Love the pool, hot tub and steam room the most.
People are friendly, staff are helpful.
Relaxed friendly atmosphere. Welcoming to all walks of life. Very convenient location.
The facility is well-maintained, and the staff is courteous, professional, and embraces diversity and inclusivity. I have noticed that during check-in, the staff forms connections with their clients, demonstrating their impressive memory for names. This particular branch stands out from others I have visited, as it fosters a sense of community that is truly remarkable. My children consistently feel secure, at ease, and enthusiastic about going there to exercise. Even my oldest son, who struggles with autism and anxiety disorder, finds comfort in this environment. I view the money I spend on this facility as a worthwhile investment, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone I come across.
The yoga classes!

I like the friendly atmosphere. Employees are very nice.
The staff is friendly. Instructors are great. I have met some very nice people!
The Bremerton Family Y is a home away from home. As a heavier woman I don’t feel uncomfortable being there. The staff are wonderful and welcoming and while I wish the childcare was available on fridays, their childcare is great.
Friendships
In general I’ve been very happy with my experience at the Bremerton Y. However, it is disappointing to see you promoting a weight loss program/diet. There are so many other ways to encourage a healthy lifestyle: finding enjoyable exercise/movement, nutrition, taking care of mental health, having a supportive community, etc. So why is the number on a scale being emphasized here? Not only does this program risk triggering those recovering from eating disorders and discouraging folks living in larger bodies who already have to experience a barrage of stigma & shame from society on a daily basis, but I find it completely at odds with the inclusive, community-focused environment I thought the Y was trying to create.
Everyone is very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and included.
I love the variety of programs! The staff is super personable & makes my child feel comfortable.
More quiet place, hoping pickleball schedule can be done on Monday and Friday mornings to have more choices.
The place is not crowded .
